Trying to determine if you have pressure in your buffer allocations can be difficult. This metric reliably indicates if you have a buffer problem using the memory dump from DBCC MEMORYSTATUS() and comparing Target Committed to the Current Committed allocations. If you hit negative numbers you are looking at a buffer issue.

We have this code that sets some status values and then queries them using the CHOOSE() function in SQL Server 2025.
CREATE TABLE Status
(
StatusID INT,
StatusDescription VARCHAR(20)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.Status
(
StatusID,
StatusDescription
)
VALUES
(0, 'Uncategorized'),
(1, 'Active'),
(2, 'Inactive'),
(3, 'Temp');
GO
SELECT CHOOSE(StatusID, 'Unknown', 'Active', 'Inactive', 'Temporary')
FROM Status;
When the SELECT runs, what is returned? See possible answers
